can you remember the quote on "eyes of the martyr"?
I have never played the game, but have seen that card and its quote was... erm... touching.

[MattyBoy]

Love this thread.
Keep em coming, folks.

[Mr. President]

Are you sure that's what it's called, Andemagne? I can't find any references to a card with that name.

From "Blood of the Martyr" (the picture is a close-up of somebody crying blood, so I can see where Andemagne got "Eyes of the Martyr"):

The willow knows what the storm does not: that the power to endure harm outlives the power to inflict it.

Ah, that's it! Thanks, loinburger.

Here's a few Seventh Edition gems (I took them from the card catalog on the Wizards website since, as my signature suggests, I can't get it in Australia):

Duress:

"Change your mind, or I'll change it for you."

Opportunity:

Little things like morals shouldn't hinder one's ambition. -- Pirate creed

Arcane Laboratory:

Too many wizards spoil the spell, but too many spells spoil the wizard. -- Sign on entry to arcane lab

Phyrexian Hulk:

It doesn't think. It doesn't feel.
It doesn't laugh or cry.
All it does from dusk till dawn
Is make the soldiers die.
-- Onean children's rhyme

Sacred Nectar:

"For he on honeydew hath fed,
And drunk the milk of Paradise."
-- Samuel Taylor Coleridge, "Kubla Khan"

I tossed that last one in because it also appears in Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri.

This is a finance quote, not from a game, but...

When elephants are fighting, the ants die first
